I have now completed the VARK questionnaire to determine my learning style. Acording to the results, I am a multimodal learner. I scored 7 as a visual learner, 7 as an aural learner, 7 as a reading/writing learner and 5 as a kinesthetic learner. This shows that my learning style is varied.
Personally I think this result is correct - I do like to use a variety of methods. I like to read information to learn something, and also like to write down notes whilst learning. I find that when I write it makes me remember it better. I also find that when I read, I can read for a while but I have to have some music on in the background. I do agree with being kinesthetic as well though I prefer reading and writing to the kinesthetic way of learning. I also agree with myself being a visual learner, which can be linked with the way I like reading/writing.
I suppose the auditory way of learning is my least favourite way of learning. I would rather see things and write them down rather than listen to recordings. This may be because my hearing isn't the best, but I personally enjoy reading/writing and the visual way of learning rather than listening to things.
My favourite method of learning is reading/writing. I have enjoyed it since primary school - I was always good at reading and excelled through the reading levels quite quickly. I also enjoyed writing essays when I got into college. I hadn't enjoyed it as much before but now that I had a subject that I liked to write about (IT) I found it more enjoyable. I have also enjoyed writing for fun at home.
